This is me. It is a little old but I'm usually the one behind the camera so I don't have many pictures of me.
1. I have only broken 1 bone but have never worn a cast. I broke my upper jaw when I was 9 and had to wear what looked like braces but was called a wire for at least 6 weeks.
2. I have never been in an airplane.
3. I love to sing silly songs to my kids. They love it and have their favorites that I get to sing over and over again.
4. I have only been in 7 states: Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming, California, Montana, and I was just inside the Colorado border just to say that I've been there.
5. My dream vacation is to go on a LDS church history tour.
6. I have been married twice. I've stayed longer in my current marriage than I did in my first. I never thought that I would be divorced when I was 24. I am much happier now that I have Matt and my kids.
7. Finding out that I was pregnant with Levi was such a relief and nerve wracking at the same time too. I had a miscarriage when I was married to my former husband and then never was able to get pregnant when I was with him. I think the Lord was blessing me by not having any children with him. Now that I'm where I am now I've been blessed with 3 kiddos in a row. I guess I'm making up for those lost years of wanting children.
8. I taught myself how to sew almost 2 years ago. I have had people try to teach me in the past but I really didn't like sewing. I was even given a sewing machine about 10 years ago and it just sat in a closet or storage gathering dust. Then I decided that it would be cheaper to use cloth diapers on my kids and even cheaper if I made them myself. So I researched and decided to just do it. I don't have very many opportunities to sew with the kids wanting my attention but I was able to make most of their Christmas and birthday gifts last year.
9. I like playing Sim games. I was addicted to The Sims 1 and 2. I started around the time I got divorced and stopped playing when I became a mother and had too many things to do. I still like to play it on the Wii sometimes but it isn't as fun. I have started playing the MySims games recently on the Wii. I usually play after the kids go to bed.
10. I can't wait until my kids fall asleep at night so I can enjoy the quiet and get some me time. I seem to stay up way too late though. I admit it I'm a night owl and the kids have been nice to me and they stay in their rooms playing (if I have Kendra with me) and let me sleep in a little. Our days usually start at 8:30 or 9am.
11. I want to be a nurse when I grow up. As if being almost 33 isn't grown up LOL. No really I was working on my pre-requisites for the Nursing program until Reah was born. Then I decided I needed to focus on being a Mommy. I still want to finish the nursing program and get my degree.
12. I took a parenting class in college right after high school and I failed it twice. :P Does that mean I'm a bad parent? No it just means that I didn't do the written assignments for the class.
13. I love chocolate and peanut butter and it's even better if they are together. Oh now my mouth is drooling LOL. That is one of my weaknesses.
14. I'm one of those moms that gets dirty looks or gets the sympathetic look when I take my kids to the grocery store. I just keep doing my thing while the kids scream and fight with each other.
15. I wanted to go by my middle name when I was younger because I loved the movie "Annie" and my middle name is Anne. I thought it sounded better and was more common than Sheryl. That didn't last very long though.
